Starting from the 10th of march, midnight, my birthday was heralded by a small, brown, unassuming Sara Lee cake brought by Mare and lots of kisses heh. And during the day as I woke up, I received a card from Rachael, drawn tastefully and lovingly in her usual humour. As I went into the church classroom, a loose sheet of artwork had fallen to my feet, and The Lord's mighty booming voice said, "Happy Birthday!" in the colorful crayon-colored artwork that spelt out Happy Birthday on that sheet of loose paper. At night, performing at Ben and Jerry's Cathay was also an unforgettable birthday experience as i witnessed the love of my life get saboh'ed and brought on stage to dance a Cha Cha. Elusion made me a pretty strawberry cheesecake, and lots of children sang along to Mustang Sally! The following day was just as spectacular in the more conventional sense, with the family, my aunts and Mare having a buffet lunch at Pariss. I am touched to have had calls and messages from all over the world, and theres nothing more that I could want on my 21st birthday.
Mare bought me a book, and it was a priceless book. It has made comment and referred to my often mentioned Effortless Mastery principle. I quote,
"The fact of the matter is that we grow into our most powerful selves (or at least start the process) the moment we let go of all the control we fearfully cling to, and open ourselves up to all possibilities that this glorious universe of ours presents. This is a freat act of humilty because it requires us to let go of the belief that we know whats best for us. It requires us to realize that what we think is needed in our lives to make us happy might now be what we need at all. And I say that this release of control is a great act of humility because it really does insist that we surrender ourselves to the much more powerful intelligence of the world we live in. I know its scary stuff at first, but I've found that on the other side of our biggest fears resides our greatest fortune."
